A readers question

Why do gay man feel more of a need for instant gratification than those in the straight world seem to do?

Oh gawd, my first question comes from a gay dude, great way to wave the flag. I have a question, why is it that because your gay, you have to shove it down everyone's throat? Geeze, really...couldn't you think of something a little more creative to ask? Anyway Bob, here goes:

In response to the question (gag), I don't think it's just gay men, but all men. You have to remember that in a straight relationship, there is another party involved, a women. Women tend to have higher morals, are more judgemental, and uptight about sex, it would never work. If a woman was more mentally indifferent and sexually unrestrainted, and if the act of instant gratification and open relationships were more widely accepted in the straight world, maybe there would be a greater number of practicing sluts.

I don't think gay men differ from straight men in terms of sexual exploits, but if there are differences I would relate it totally to environment and conditioning. Sex is pushed more, and used as both an anti-depressant, ego booster, and ice breaker in the gay community, therefore much more of a focus. Hopefully one day, when our social systems more readily accept us, it may change.

Until then, get a hobby :)
